PENTECOST, COMMONLY CALLED WHITSUNDAY

May 27, 2018

 

IINTROIT. Spiritus Domini. Wisdom I

THE Spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world, alleluia: and that

which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice, alleluia,

alleluia, alleluia. /Ps. /68 Let God arise, and let his enemies be

scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. V. Glory be.

 

COLLECT.

O GOD, who as at this time didst teach the hearts of thy faithful

people, by sending to them the light of thy Holy Spirit: grant us by the

same Spirit to have a right judgement in all things, and evermore to

rejoice in his holy comfort; through the merits of Christ Jesus our

Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same

Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen.

 

EPISTLE. Acts 2:1-11

1 WHEN the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one

accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty

wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it

sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with

other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every

nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were

confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold,

are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia,

and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about

Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the

wonderful works of God.

 

SEQUENCE. Veni, Sancte Spiritus.

Come, thou Holy Spirit, come: and from thy celestial home send thy light

and brilliancy.

Come, thou father of the poor, come who givest all our store, come the

soul's true radiancy.

Come, of comforters the best, of the soul the sweetest guest, sweetly

and refreshingly.

Come, in labour rest most sweet, shade and coolness in the heat, comfort

in adversity.

Thou who art the Light most blest, come fulfil their inmost breast, who

believe most faithfully.

For without thy Godhead's dower, man hath nothing in his power, save to

work iniquity.

What is filthy make thou pure, what is wounded work its cure, water what

is parched and dry.

Gently bend the stubborn will, warm to life the heart that's chill,

guide who goeth erringly.

Fill thy faithful who adore, and confess thee evermore, with thy

sevenfold mystery.

Here thy grace and virtue send, grant salvation in the end, and in

heaven felicity. Amen. Amen.

 

GOSPEL. Saint John 14:15-31

15 AT that time: Jesus said unto his disciples: If ye love me, keep my

commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter,

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it

seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth

with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:

because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I

in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth

me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love

him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt

manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my

words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make

our abode with him.

24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye

hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send

in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your

remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world

giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it

be afraid.

28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto

you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the

Father: for my Father is greater than I.

29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come

to pass, ye might believe.

30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world

cometh, and hath nothing in me.

31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father

gave me commandment, even so I do.

 

OFFERTORY. /Ps. /68 Stablish the thing, O God, that thou hast wrought

in us: for thy temple's sake at Jerusalem, shall kings bring presents

unto thee, Alleluia.

 

SECRET.

SANCTIFY, O Lord, we beseech thee, these our oblations: that being

enlightened by the beams of thy Holy Spirit, our hearts may be purified

from all evil.

 

COMMUNION. /Acts 2 /Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a

rushing might wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting,

alleluia: and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to

speak the wonder works of God, Alleluia. Alleluia.

 

POSTCOMMUNION.

WE humbly beseech thee, O Lord, that thou wouldest send down upon our

hearts the healthful Spirit of thy grace: and, that we may bring forth

fruit unto thee, pour upon us the inward dew of his blessing. Through.
